Testimonials

“I wanted you to know how wonderful you were to work with in our nanny search. We are so thankful you put us in touch with Connie –she’s a perfect nanny for our baby. Your responsiveness and professionalism made the whole process less stressful.”Megan Pulliam, Larkspur

Nanny Services “I was surprised and pleased to learn Rent-A-Parent pre-screens candidates to interview, and only asks for a fee if you choose one of their nannies. I interviewed the Rent-A-Parent candidates in parallel with candidates I found elsewhere, and the quality of the nannies from Rent-A-Parent was outstanding. We feel so lucky to have found our amazing nanny - thank you Rent-a-Parent!" Lauren S., Larkspur

Nanny Services“I wanted to let you know how wonderful and seamless the last three months have been with our nanny. She’s kept me on this side of sanity and made it possible for the kids to juggle homework and after school activities and for me to hold down a day job! The kids adore her and she has been totally flexible as my schedule is always a moving target. I’m not sure how I would survive without her.” Wendy Hayward, Mill Valley

Party Help“We needed a sitter to occupy the 1 yr. old birthday boy while we prepared for 50+ guests. She was amazing with my son and when he went down for a nap she came into the kitchen and helped frost the cupcakes, made pasta salad, washed dishes (without even being asked). I definitely want her to come back very soon.” Holly Brousseau, Mill Valley
